There is no truth in the report that my

LONDON, Aug 1.-The Earl OF Roseberry,
in the House of Lords this evening, asked
Prime Minister Salisbury to confirm
or contradict the report telegraphed
from Shanghai that an American company
of tinanciers had established a bank in
China with O capital of $500, ,000, 900, and
had obtained from the Chinese government
a franchise which secured to the corpora
ton exclusive control of the financial devel-

Lord Salisbury i'll reply said, the Govern
ment had no information of the subject
that the matter was not one within the cog
nizance of the foreign office, and that if such
report really was current in China the
British agent possibly thought it unworthy
of notice.
